I've had setbacks, and I know I will continue to have setbacks. The biggest thing I've learned this week, through my mistakes & through my IC, is that I HAVE to start taking care of myself.
Keep this where you can see it. It is a very good reminder to keep close by.

This realization is what will help you take the appropriate steps to gaining back the power over yourself. The hope can be the energy that can drive you, so long as it does not become the driving reason behind your efforts. Doing what is best for you is a perfect approach to this. It is the DB way. You will stumble in the process, you will lose strength at times. But the key, is to get back up each time you fall. Strength is gained each time you do so.
You are doing well this week. One small step at a time and you will move to a better place.
